Eating Healthy on Campus
Eating healthy in The Garden Room can be easily accomplished with the assortment of eateries available.  Just remember to watch your portion sizes and intake of fried foods, cheese, and creamy sauces.  Here are some suggestions:

  • At Bené Pizzeria, you can create your own pasta dish using chicken and marinara sauce
  • Order fajitas with chicken or portabella mushrooms at Tortilla Fresca
  • Check out the “Live Well” sandwiches all available at Montague’s Deli; all containing less than 10 grams of fat
  • You can also create your own sandwich from a variety of meats and sauces at Montague’s Deli;  stick with low-fat options like a turkey sandwich or a veggie sandwich with light dressing
  • Don’t forget to check out the Salad Garden with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits; watch out for the creamy high-fat  dressings! 


Snack Time!

Stop by any of our dining locations and find healthy in-between meal options to tide you over until your next meal!  Here are just a few samples of what you can find around campus:

  • Fresh fruit smoothes available at Baker's Dozen, all of which can be made with our NSA Smoothie Mix
  • Fresh whole fruit from The Garden Room and Java CIty
  • Heart Healthy items such as Kashi Bars, Smart Heart Cereals, Premium Juices, Yogurt and Meal Replacement Bars can be found at all of our retail dining locations

 
Heathy Dining in The Underground

  • Take advantage of the fresh fruits and grains offered at the salad bar!  You should get five cups of fruits and vegetables per day and six servings of grains per day.
  • Always watch your portion sizes!  Chicken, fish and meat entrees should be no larger than a deck of cards.  Pasta and rice servings should be the size of an ice cream scoop.
